LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 23, 2000--Organizers of the sixth annual Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3Expo), the world's premier showcase for interactive entertainment and related products, today announced that the show has sold out in record time and will fill more exhibit space than ever before. Douglas Lowenstein, president of the Interactive Digital Software Association (IDSA), the trade group that owns E3Expo, said E3Expo 2000 will fill an unprecedented 548,000 net square feet of space with more than 400 exhibitors May 11-13 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. "The sales records set this year by E3Expo reflect the fact that computer and video games only continue to grow in popularity, with U.S. sales of games showing double digit growth last year to a record-setting $6.1 billion," said Lowenstein. "This revolutionary industry continues to race ahead in technological innovation and make an increasing impact on our culture and economy, and E3Expo is the only place to witness this phenomenon first-hand." E3Expo 1999 served as the launching pad for approximately 1,900 new products, and E3Expo 2000 is expected to showcase a record number of groundbreaking new technologies and next generation products for computers, video game consoles and the Internet. In addition, E3Expo 2000 offers a unique, in-depth opportunity for industry professionals to explore the most important issues facing the industry today in its comprehensive workshop and conference program scheduled for May 10-12. "When it comes to interactive entertainment, E3Expo 2000 is the world's most important forum for introducing new products and fostering commerce," said Lowenstein. "Whether your interest is in game development, retail, investment, or writing about the industry, E3Expo 2000 is the only show on earth that brings together all the companies, products, and people you need to get your business done." Registration for E3Expo 2000 is now available online for industry professionals at www.e3expo.com or by calling 1-800-315-1133. Attendees will save up to $50 by signing up during the early registration period ending April 7. Early registration packages range from the $150 "Exhibits Only Package" to the $400 "Super Pass" that includes up to three workshop sessions, admission to three days of exhibits, and first-come first-served access to all conference sessions.
